We used to try to do everything. Run, run, run. And if we missed anything because of uncontrollable circumstances, we'd worry ourselves to death trying to see if we would have time to fit it into our vacation.

Like I said, we used to do that. On our last trip, we did just a little bit of that. But my DW was having such a difficult time walking, we finally gave it up as a bad job and just ended up spending most of our time lounging around the pool at POR. We still have to see all the shows. Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The British Invasion, etc.

I have now come to the point where I do what I want, when I want to. So sometimes I do a lot and others I don't. I definitely take time to smell the Disney. But that being said, I would be bummed out if HM was down while I was there. It happened one time, total bummer.

I have certain must-dos which I plan in there. Haunted mansion, TTA (Which they've ruined), carousell of progress, spaceship earth but past that, totally chilled. Sometimes we'll get to a park, do one thing and decide it's too crowded and give it up. Since we've been incredibly fortunate to go quite often, it never feels like we're missing out, just postponing

In recent years we have been very fortunate and been back several times, this is amazingly liberating as it stops you feeling as if you have to do everything as it 'may be your only chance' , it lets you unwind and just wander, and if the kids want to do something over and over they can.

That said, as we rarely go off property we usually have ample time to do everything we want to

there are a few special attractions that I get upset about if they are in rehab
